Hi
In the UK we tend not to have "trailheads". We do however have a variety of guideposts.
The following link provides an example which may be of help in this discussion:
http://www.peakandnorthern.org.uk/signposts/about-our-signposts.htm
This is tagged with the following:
information=guidepost
operator=Peak & Northern Footpaths Society
ref=1234
source=survey;gps
tourism=information
These would generally be mapped as a separate node.
Where the start of a footpath is identified but the route not mapped it has been common practice to mark the start of the way and put in a fixme. This is certainly very helpful when seeking to find footpaths that need mapping.
Regards
Dudley
